The implementation of the enhanced community quarantine and the need for physical distancing has prompted networks to come up with new ways to present their programs.

Sunday variety shows have now evolved from being studio based to home based streaming shows that still maximize star power.

ABS-CBN's ASAP Natin 'To and GMA-7's All-Out Sundays both found ways to connect with their respective audiences through online live streaming apps last Sunday, March 29, 2020.

ASAP Natin 'To was shown on ABS-CBN Channel 2, while All-Out Sundays was aired live via GMA-7's YouTube and Facebook accounts. An old episode was aired on GMA Channel 7 that day.

Martin Nievera and Zsa Zsa Padilla performed a duet of "Umagang Kay Ganda," while Erik Santos gave his rendition of "Sapagkat Diyos Ang Pag-ibig."

ASAP Natin 'To then aired performances of real-life couples Moira dela Torre and Jason Hernandez, KZ Tandingan and TJ Monterde, as well as Sarah Geronimo and Matteo Guidicelli. These numbers were previously aired during the "Pantawid ng Pag-ibig" special concert on March 22.

Jessa Zaragoza, who is a regular of GMA-7's Pepito Manaloto but also does guest appearances in ASAP Natin 'To, performed "Basta't Kasama Kita" together with husband Dingdong Avanzado and daughter Jayda.

"Basta't Kasama Kita" is a song popularized by Dingdong released in 1989.

ASAP Natin 'To ended its March 29 episode with the launch of ABS-CBN's inspirational music video of the song "Ililigtas Ka Niya."

"Ililigtas Ka Niya," one of the theme songs of FPJ's Ang Probinsyano, has been turned into an inspirational song that unites Kapamilya singers in order to uplift the spirit and faith of Filipinos amid the world's battle against COVID-19.

"But know that God is with us and now is the time to really put our home with Him. Some of you might be bored at home doing nothing but I really encourage you to reach out to your family members, loved ones, even your old friends abroad or in the provinces.

"At marami na po tayong mga Pilipinong napagdaanang mga kamalidad. But I know that we will make it through if we help each other and stick together. Do not fear guys because God has not given us the spirit of fear. I'm praying for you all and I love you, and most importantly, stay home, God bless you!"
